ABC News reported yesterday that an increasing number of {helicopter} parents were contacting college officials to request roommate changes for their freshman children because they found the prospective roommate's Facebook profile objectionable.
And what exactly do they find objectionable?
According to the article "party related content and photos" concerns parents at The College of New Jersey while parents at Syracuse University apparently are more concerned with race, religion and sexual orientation; the parents at Suffolk University ranked "sexual orientation" as a top concern.
Facebook began allowing high school students in to the previously college students only social network in September of 2005. By the onset of the next school year, the New York Times reported a new phenomena at various colleges and universities....parents checking out Facebook to see "who" their child's college roommate was as expressed by their Facebook profile. Ah, but it didn't start and stop with mere curiosity.
It also didn't start or stop with concerns that a Facebook party animal would make an inappropriate roommate.... "race, religion, and sexual orientation are the top three concerns?"
Parents, into your helicopters; man your stations. Call the school! Our child can't have a roommate that is ummmm, well, different from us.
What's up with that?
Should we Blame Mr. Rogers?
According to Jeffrey Zaslow of the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Rogers' message that children were special just for being whoever they were, is to blame for the sense of entitlement he believes young people seem to have. He quotes a finance professor, Don Chance, at Louisiana State University, who decided that Mr. Rogers was responsible for the students who came to his office feeling entitled to a better grade, "He {Mr. Rogers} is representative of a culture of excessive doting."
OK, maybe that explains the parental interference, but Mr. Rogers welcomed everyone to his neighborhood.
Research on Millennials (born 1977-1998) indicates that these kids are closer to their parents than any previous generation.Their parents hovered early and hovered often and there has always been constant connection via mobiles and email. OK, let's blame technology.
An article in Duke Magazine titled Helicopter Parents, indicated that according to a survey by the College Parents of America, 74% of parents talked to their kids 2-3 times a week and one third talked to their kids once a day; 90% used cell phones and 58% used email. From being buckled into car seats and bike helmets, to scheduled play dates, the Millenials have been constantly supervised and instead of feeling smothered, they apparently report that they feel very close to their parents.
In fact, these helicopter parents are landing everywhere...colleges, grad schools and work. The Wall Street Journal reported in March 2006 that the same parents who "mowed down the guidance and admissions offices" are increasingly seeking to intercede on their children's behalves in the workplace....calling to negotiate pay and inquire about the working environment.
Anastasia Goodstein, writing in the Huffington Post about parents monitoring college roommates on Facebook calls it, Helicopter Parents Gone Wild. Indeed.

Pro-Choice Summative Assessment
There is a world where orphans are seen as unfortunate and needy; starved for affection and care. Yet, in this world, a child who goes unwanted is a child who was granted a fortunate life. A mother, 10x more likely to die from giving birth than from having an abortion, is forced to deliver a baby and give it away because the timing wasn't right. Did you know, readers, that women granted the right of abortion are less likely to undergo psychological damage than those who've been denied it? And this makes sense, when one has in mind the struggles a person may have if not financially capable to bear a child versus guilt or oppression.
This world is where consciousness is assumed to have been given from the time of conception - a body with muscle but no brain thus no frontal lobe – and this world is where those who offer information are blatantly ignored.
There are things we simply do not understand – for now, but does this mean that we must override the right to one's body due to another's ethics and beliefs? As much as scientists are trying to explain the differences between an unborn fetus and a baby – as much research as there has been, people against abortion are relentless. Scholars have established studies such as the development of the cortex and spinal cord; where intrusion is sensed and pain is sent out, which does not develop till the last few weeks in the mother's womb, yet a frequent argument is that the fetus may feel pain. To what extent are people willing to say "Oh, but the facts simply cannot be"? Will we encourage the development of technology to our own selfish whim and yet deny the progression of knowledge? Is this not what happened in the Salem Witch Trials - the division of rights due to a guess; when a person's uneducated beliefs interfere with another's right to control their own life? Shouldn't it be the person's say with what happens to their body, like a woman who's being accused of being a witch, who refuses to confess to a lie? Or shall we be hanged for the sake of another's fear or doubt?
People for pro-life – even some outside of the religious community – continue to enforce regulations that have every reason to be overturned. Others argue that life is life, but if it can neither deny nor confirm itself, what makes a fetus free to be born to a reluctant mother? What kind of community supports the rise of bad spirits; when a child is born to be placed in an adoption home, or even moved from foster to foster at a time? Is stability no longer cherished? Well, it's deemed itself the right to be, as nearly half of foster-children in the world become homeless once they turn 18; kicked out by those that were supposedly supporting them. And to bring this home, scholars estimate that in the U.S.A, nearly 140,000 abortions have occurred in year 2016 while more than 250,000 children in the U.S. enter the foster care system every year. Only around 100,000 of these children are eligible for adoption, but only 30% of these children will wait over three years in foster care before being adopted. A study of foster children in Oregon and Washington State found that nearly 1/3 of foster children report being abused by a foster parent or another adult at that foster home – imagine the children who were too afraid to speak.
80% of ex-foster children are traced and reported by case-workers to be "doing poorly" – in other words, these people have no means to be working, or have been drawn into criminal activities. Connecticut officials estimate 75% of youths in the state's criminal justice system were once in foster care. To support this illustration, Steven D. Levitt, a published PhD in the peer-reviewed Quarterly Journal of Economics says "Legalized abortion has contributed significantly to recent crime reductions." because "Women who have abortions are those most at risk to give birth to children who would engage in criminal activity." and women who had control over the timing of childbearing were more likely to raise children in optimal environments. The stats say it! Crime is reduced when there is access to legal abortion, and ex-foster-kids are 3x more likely to attempt suicide than those from a family home. Imagine, a world where children are abused by foster parents and used for government pay. Then imagine a country where we have more than triple the amount of those children living unwanted and unloved by the parents who were denied adoption rights.
Now, ask yourself – is adoption really that much of an option?

The essay is written in what I would qualify as semi-serious language (where one wants serious language strictly speaking in an essay). But that aside, because it isn't a huge problem as much as a technicality, I think the biggest struggle the reader will face in approaching this piece of writing are your conjunctions and poor transitions. Let me try to give you a clear example:
Only around 100,000 of
these children
are eligible for adoption,
only 30% of these children will wait over three years in foster care before being adopted.
The first set of emboldened words refers to a subject in the previous sentence. The fact that you've used a period to separate these two clauses creates a strenuous relation (because the particular subject isn't a pervasively recurring one). This in and of itself is not necessarily a faux pas in terms of syntax (it is sometimes necessary); it does, however, force an extreme awkwardness onto the adjoined conjunction and subsequent clause. It's like you've a footnote to a footnote about a reference. Consequently, the choice of conjunction becomes obfuscating (why are we opposing these two facts as if they contradict or are contrariwise to one another?) and the same goes for the latter case of the indirect subject (is the second mention of "these children" also in reference to the 250'000, or is it a self-contained reference to the 100'000?).
It's not like these things can't be figured out, in meaning and structure, but when you're perusing a text (particularly one that's trying to convince you of a point), these types of lacunae lead to disinterest, disconnectedness, and essentially misunderstanding.
I don't particularly care for these things, and I don't think you write poorly by any means (you've quite an interesting or unique unto itself voice). I simply point them out because somewhere along the line I can't help but be pedantic.
With regards to the content, I think emwren touched on the important points. You are quoting someone else, but you are nonetheless the author of the order in which these things were amalgamated & presented. The crime bit is extremely speculative and narrow in consideration. Foster children and non-adopted unaborted children are not by nature more prone to crime (in which case, suggesting that abortion as a choice would logically reduce crime rates would accurate). It's the environment in which they're placed, alongside the lack of opportunity forced upon them that essentially funnels them towards that type of behaviour. Which simply means the societal structure currently in place cannot adequately handle (or properly, case in point the abuse tangent) them. But again, this isn't THEIR fault. It's more a problem we have that we impose on them. And even if all possible abortion opportunities were taken, there'd still be children orphaned by strokes of tragedy. So basically, we need to fix the system so it stops encouraging children to go down such terrible paths. If this still seems unclear to you, think of it in terms of sex: you're basically suggesting abstinence is the solution to STIs (avoid them altogether by just not having them, aka avoid foster children by just aborting them before they get to that point). Abstinence is a rather unnatural form of abnegation which can lead to psychological dissonance. Using protection and being informed about STIs, however, is a system that works much better for most people. This is where my analogy fails to connect -- specifically because we don't have a comparably "better" system for foster children.

Interesting paper, I'm assuming you were required to choose a side and argue it? I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion or the research quoted, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the expression and use it as any opportunity to think a little deeper about the subject of abortion.
The idea that abortion can lower crime rates seems speculative, how does one collect data on children who were never born. I don't think there are easy or clear-cut answers that can solve issues like this. I also think that many kids in foster care were not necessarily only born because the mother didn't have access to abortion.
It worries me a little to think of the step from claiming crime rates could be lowered if certain children were never born to forcing abortions where an outsider feels the parent may prove less than equal to the task of raising a child. I realize that's not a real threat, but seems a possible step for future generations if such research became trusted. It is a new twist that I haven't seen before, so I congratulate you for taking a different approach to the argument.
I don't mean my comment in a critical way, just thought I'd take a minute to say something to acknowledge your work put in. I always think topics like this are made for debate, anyway. All of us seeing the issue from a unique angle as we do. Good work on this.

"Calgon, Take Me Away!"
Have you ever needed to get away from it all? Those of us who are old enough may remember the popular television commercial from the 1970s, in which the harried working mother retreated to her bathtub, calling, "Calgon, take me away!" as if a box of scented bath crystals would make everything better. We may joke about those moments, but sometimes we really do need to retreat, to pull back from the rest of the world to focus on ourselves. I know I do sometimes, and I never needed it more than I did a little over a year ago.
I was at my wits' end. My husband and I were living on a tight budget in a cramped, one-bedroom apartment, struggling to regain our footing after a serious financial setback, and my young adult stepson was crashing on our floor (we didn't have room for a couch) every weekend. On top of that, in searching for the root cause of my lifelong depression and anxiety, I had recently uncovered a deep wound – the mother wound.
What's the Mother Wound?
"The mother wound is the pain of being a woman passed down through generations of women in patriarchal cultures. And it includes the dysfunctional coping mechanisms that are used to process that pain." – Bethany Webster, WombofLight.com
By mother wound, I mean the pain of mother's rejection and/or inability of her child to meet social expectations, the pain of the mother's ambivalence for one's true nature caused by cultural pressures. Psychologically, the mother wound may begin with our actual mothers in childhood. However, for adults, it is perpetuated by the internal construct of our mother as she was in our childhood, yet inextricably combined with the social and cultural expectations of us and our mothers at that time.
This pain was passed on to me in the form of harsh and oppressive attitudes towards myself, which I had adopted unconsciously as the internal construct of my mother. That voice was constantly berating me, to the point where I believed its lies and often felt too crushed to pursue my dreams more than half-heartedly, if at all. It was the voice that told me I wasn't good enough, or strong enough, or simply enough. It was the voice that had for years kept my own voice, my writing, my artistic expression, blocked.
I had come across the words to explain what I was feeling while re-reading the "Ugly Duckling" chapter of Clarissa Pinkola Estes' Women Who Run With the Wolves. In the version told by Estes, the duckling's mother makes many new mother mistakes. She has no guidance from older, more experienced mothers. She is ambivalent when confronted with her child's social rejection, and tries to get the child to conform to cultural norms that deny his true nature. She gives up and collapses in defeat just when the duckling needs her most. Finally, the duckling leaves to seek a new family of his own people, undergoing many trials to find his spiritual home with the swans.
This story beautifully illustrates the problems with our current culture, which isolates generations of women from one another and cuts us off from our authentic selves by imposing all manner of unrealistic expectations for our appearance and behavior. As we begin to wake up to our true essence, we are drawn to others like us. As women waking up to our authentic selves, we find strength in sharing our common experiences and stories with other women. We learn from Estes' analysis of the fairy tale that we need relationships with strong, authentic, supportive women in order to build our confidence and coping skills, but that ultimately, we alone are responsible for changing our inner voices to something kinder, one that can support us by getting in touch with the wild, instinctive mothering nature that is our birthright.
"The archetype of the Wild Woman and all that stands behind her is patroness to all painters, writers, sculptors, dancers, thinkers, prayermakers, seekers, finders – for they are all busy with the work of invention, and that is the instinctive nature's main occupation. As in all art, she resides in the guts, not in the head. She can track and run and summon and repel. She can sense, camouflage, and love deeply. She is intuitive, typical, and normative. She is utterly essential to women's mental and soul health." – Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run With the Wolves
In the pages of Women Who Run With the Wolves, I was also reminded of the value of the archetypal Wild Woman as a symbol of strength, courage, and authenticity. Estes' book values the old stories for their archetypal wisdom, the sharing of our personal stories, and community with similarly Wild Women, something I had found in limited amounts, but was craving more and more since I'd been sharing my small space with two men for some time.
Does Anyone Else Need a Retreat?
I can't say exactly when my "Calgon, take me away!" moments turned into the more specific, "I need a retreat!" moments, but it definitely gelled for me when I tried to talk with my husband, Charlie, about the mother wound. No matter how sympathetic he wanted to be, he simply couldn't relate to the trauma of being a woman in the same way a woman does. By Valentine's Day of 2014, I had approached three friends – Amy Hilton, Katherine Roberts, and Brenda Starwalker — to ask if they needed a retreat as badly as I did.
To my great surprise, they were excited about my idea, particularly the part about calling ourselves Wild Women and working together to heal the mother wound, both individually and collectively. Things came together quickly and smoothly. Within a week of Katherine putting it out there, our first Wild Woman Retreat – Learning to Mother the Authentic Self was popular on Facebook and almost booked to capacity. Though we were disappointed she wasn't able to attend in person, Katherine also designed an amazing brochure for the event attendees. Brenda offered her property, Sukavah Bodeh, as our location for the weekend of March 15-16, led our yoga practice during the retreat, contributed food, and made us delicious carrot dogs for dinner, with banana boats for dessert! Amy led a DIY workshop that got rave reviews, introducing us to sustainable and safe personal products like shampoo, conditioner, and facial wipes. I coordinated the food, led a circle reading and discussion of "The Ugly Duckling," and facilitated the sharing circle.
Sharing our Stories Changed Everything
We arrived at the pinnacle of the two-day retreat on Saturday night around the campfire. That night, each woman had the opportunity to hold the talking stick and share her story, or whatever was on her heart, with a fully present audience and no interruptions. As our laughter and tears flowed together, we were all brought to an awareness of how isolated we had been feeling, when in fact we shared very similar experiences. I was profoundly transformed by our sacred circle, and have been healing the sources of my depression and anxiety at an accelerated rate ever since. That healing has come, in equal measures, from both new and deepening bonds of friendship with my Wild Woman sisters, and learning to replace the harsh inner mother with the voice of my nurturing instincts.
Though at first his feelings were hurt when I said my retreat needed to be for women only, even Charlie grudgingly admitted I had more energy and seemed more balanced after my return. The truth is, we could not have had the same experience if men had been there. Men change the dynamic of groups. Due to the same forces which cause the mother wound, women in mixed groups tend to exhibit the following dysfunctional behaviors: allowing men to dominate the conversation, praising what men say but not what women say, being afraid to speak the truth for fear of ridicule or reprimand, flirting (which diverts the focus and purpose of the group), or worse, they may be unintentionally triggered due to previous traumatic events. None of these things would have been helpful to what occurred around our campfire at the first retreat. For many, it is only when a group of women agree to hold one another in sacred trust that their authentic selves can emerge freely. Possibly the best argument for women-only, in my opinion, is the effect it has on how I get along with the men in my life. My relationships with my husband and my son have improved significantly since I began taking the time to nurture myself in women-only spaces.
Looking to the Future
Wild Woman Retreat has come a long way since our first event. Unlike the first shoestring budget events, for several months my sisters Amy Hilton, Katherine Roberts, and I have been planning not only Nourishing the Soul by the Sea, but a whole calendar of women-only programs to foster individual growth and support collective healing. From our humble beginnings of charging just enough to cover our costs, we have now emerged with a website, a new summer mini-retreat event, and a goal to eventually acquire a property as a suitable permanent location for Wild Woman Retreats.
I'm so grateful for all of you who joined us on the first Wild Woman Retreat, those who supported us along the way, and those who will be a part of Wild Woman Retreat in the years to come.

I have been working from home since we moved to Portland at the end of summer but it has been part time. Up till she turned 3 in February, she was home with me, and that came with a lot of fun memorable moments. BUT, once first trimester hit in December with baby No2, not only did I start to feel like I was losing myself, I also felt guilty that I wasn't being fair to her. I had just enough energy to keep my eyes open to make sure she was safe and her basic needs were met. Not a proud mom moment there!
Even with my energy back and my nausea at a manageable level, I still felt guilty and we went ahead and registered her 3 times a week at a preschool close by. At first we started with a half day and the novelty of it was intriguing that she enjoyed it. Then we transitioned her to full days a couple of weeks later. That first week was so tough. She cried so hard when she had to take her first nap that afternoon. She cried so hard I had to go pick her up and soothe her. I figured out why she had a hard day, when they asked her to sleep, she probably thought I wasn't coming back for a long time, I mean she only sleeps at home. We had a great picnic at the park and I explained to her that I will be there to pick her up at the end of school everyday. That she gets to play, nap, eat, and learn at school and we get to play together right after. What a wonderful surprise the next day, she did just fine and wanted to stay at school even longer.
Here we are 2 months later and she cannot wait to go to school in the morning. She runs to hug me so tight when I pick her up and shows me what crafts or worksheets she did that day. She tells me about all her friends, and we recite their names so many times over. She tells me she had a good nap or she tells me she had no nap with the biggest twinkle in her eyes. She tells me about her best friend of the week. My sweet girl just loves going to school and I could not be happier.
As for me, those 3 days have been so full of work, errands, yoga and just things, that I feel guilty I do not miss her around me more. I leave the house in a flash if I need to, I go into stores and leave without having to buy a new toy or snack. I finish grading or working on the course material without interruptions every few minutes of 'mommy watch me' or 'what's this?' I go to appointments and focus on my what the doctor has to say and not whether she is trying to swipe a tongue depressor or jump up on the examining chair next to me (I have a wildly embarrassing 20-week ultrasound story to share at some point). Best of all, when she is done, I can focus the rest of the evening on answering every 'why' question, look at every twirl or jump, read every book she brings to me, and smile when she follows me to the bathroom because I did miss her by now and had enough 'me' and 'quiet' moments to enjoy every energetic 3 year old moment she brings to me. I do not feel guilty, I feel lucky and grateful. Maybe soon I can make some more adult friends I can have grown up conversations while she is at school, for now I am really content. Plus I got to have lunch and hang out with the hubby at his office twice in the past two weeks.
Boy has this been a wordy post. I feel quite strongly about this apparently.

Shaw vs. Virginia State
The Bears have lost three straight games – two without senior center LaQuisha Taylor who is not playing again tonight. Trojans have won two straight after losing two in a row to Virginia Union and Chowan. Nothing to cry about against those two teams.
Trojans jump out to a 8-0 lead, putting on full-court press early. Shaw hates to be pressed.
Newcomer Tahniya Sweatt finally ends VSU's 10-0 run with a basket.
Am I the only one bothered by a cheerleading group called the Chi Chi's (or however they spell it) and there's a guy on the team?
The last time VSU coach James Hill was at Spaulding, he was being inducted into the athletics hall of fame. Of course, hardly anyone knew since no press release was sent out to the media.
Lots of VSU fans in the house, but then it only takes 10 to fill up the visitors' side.
End of a 16-minute first quarter. VSU leads 18-11. VSU's Dionna Marcus has 7 of the 18. Sweat leads Shaw with 6 points.
On a different note, can't believe today is the 30th anniversary of Doug Williams leading the Washington Redskins to a 42-10 Super Bowl victory over Denver. Remember it like it was yesterday. And that now famous quote by an ignorant reporter: "How long have you been a black quarterback?"
The Bears are starting to heat up. Raquel Kellow nails a 3-pointer to pull Shaw to within 2 before Alexis Smith hits a short jumper.
Don't know why every team doesn't press Shaw. Two straight VSU buckets off turnovers to take a 29-20 lead with 2:42 left in half. Bears are relying on the 3-pointer to stay in the game. No offensive flow so far. Aja Robertson banks in a trey to make it 32-20.
End of half: VSU leads 34-21. Barely 30 minutes into game. Alexis Smith is the only player in double figures with 10 points. Shaw shot 30.8 percent from the field versus the Trojans 43.8 percent. Neither team could hit from beyond the arc; Shaw is 2 of 10 from 3-point range compared to VSU 3 of 14.
Chelsea Long's 3 pulls the Bears to within 7, but Shaw is missing more than it's hitting. Trojans lead 44-36. Alexis Smith still the only player in double digits.
Trojans just had five rebounds in one session to get a basket. Lead by 8 with 25 seconds left in third.
End of third: VSU 46, SU 39. Trojans have scored 26 points in the paint versus Shaw, and 17 points off turnovers versus five for Shaw.
Alexis Smith's 3 makes it 51-39 early in the fourth period.
Trojans making it look too easy now with 4:03 left. Alexis Smith makes it 61-41. Smith has a game-high 21 points.
Game over in just 1-1/2 hours. VSU wins 64-47. Lerven Johnson-Tyler leads Shaw with 14 points. The men are sure to be much better.
Goodness, where did Lamous Brown from Shaw come from? He's 7-foot and just a sophomore. Bears jump out to 7-0 lead before VSU can break the drought. Savon Goodman's two free throws give Shaw a 10-5 lead. Despite low score, game is physical early.
Shaw shooting 57 percent from the field while the Trojans are at 28.6 percent. But we are tied at 10 after a 5-0 run by VSU with 11:38 left in half.
Tied at 12 with 8:54 left. Both teams shooting under 40 percent. Goodman puts the Bears back up 14-12, but Waymond Wright hits a 3-pointer to give VSU its first lead of the game with 7:48 left in the half. Not for long. Stephens-Bells free throw ties the game again at 15.

Cairns, Australia: A City of Extreme Adventure
When I was studying abroad in Sydney, Australia, my friends and I decided to take a spring break trip that included a lot of partying and a lot of extreme sports. We booked a tour with Colourful Trips called One Fish Two Fish (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) which included things like bungee jumping, white water rafting, scuba diving, pub crawls, booze cruises, and more. Much of this trip took place in Cairns which, I learned, is the perfect Australian destination for those doing some thrill seeking.
Where to Stay
Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort is the best hostel I stayed in all of Australia, possibly even the world (and I have stayed in many, many hostels). It is a 5 star backpacker accommodation, and it isn't hard to see why. Aside from being centrally located and clean with a kitchen, there is a beach-style backyard: in-ground pool, lounge chairs in the sand, and volley ball nets.
The Woolshed in Cairns is the most fun you will have in the entire city, especially if you are looking to dance on the bar and really let lose. Events are on every night and well as live music, for example, Mexican Mondays with a chili eating contest as well as a Mr. and Mrs. Backpacker competition and Sexy Sundays with cash prizes for girls in the sexiest lingerie. Conveniently, they also serve dinner from 6PM on.
There is also a fun pub crawl bus company called Ultimate Party that runs every Tuesday and Saturday night and can take you to an array of different bars, such as Mad Cow Tavern and Rhino Bar. They give you a free BBQ dinners, free entry into the venues, and a souvenir group photo. One highlight of the night was playing games on stage such as having to do sexual positions or girls getting on their knees and maneuvering bubble gum down a guy's pants. Bring your student ID if you have one, because a lot of the places they take you offer discounts.
Things to Do: Extreme Adventures
Bungy jump at AJ Hackett Tower which is 50 meters high and offers 16 different jump styles, such as a swan dive and the Minjin Swing through the jungle (where you lay on your stomach and have the option to go tandem). Another plus? There is a bar on site, so you can get buzzed before the jump if you want to calm your nerves or after if you want to celebrate your bravery. Prices vary depending on what you want to do, but a bungy jump that includes a certificate and t-shirt costs $139.
Skydive Cairns is another way to get your adrenaline pumping, with jumps from 9000-14,000 feet that allow views of the rainforest and Great Barrier Reef. The free fall is the scariest part, as you literally feel what it is like to fall from a plane (and you can't breath). Once the shoot opens and your legs kick back, you can relax from your perch in the sky and take in the scenery. Prices vary depending on exactly what you want to do but for a basic skydive expect to pay about $250-$340.
White Water Rafting at the Tully River in Cairns is also an exciting way to spend your time (and burn calories). I know first-hand how scary this experience can be, as I was one of only two people out of our group of 80-something people to fall out of the raft on the rapids! Not going to lie, though, falling out ended up being my favorite part (scary but fun!). A full day of rafting will cost you $195 and will include lunch, transfers, and a guide who will teach you all of the rafting positions as well as what to do when you fall out (which I now know by heart!)
Scuba Diving the Great Barrier Reef is an absolute must if you are in this area, as it is the world's largest reef system as well as a World Heritage Site. While scuba diving can be unnerving (it is really unsettling not being able to breath out of your mouth for a long period of time, especially when you are far under water; it's also scary when water gets in your eyes and/or nose), it is definitely an adventure to literally swim with the fish and get to see the coral up close. If you end up not being able to dive, ask the instructors if you can borrow some snorkeling gear so at least you can still get to experience the reef first hand.
Cliff Diving in Crystal Cascades will allow you to not only experience the Australian rainforest and local birds, but also swing and cliff dive into the waters in a peaceful setting.

Hi! So I realize how random this is but I am a junior studying abroad in Australia for a semester. I was looking into One Fish Two Fish for a while now to do for spring break. It looks amazing and I had saved up money for a fun trip but apparently none of my friends that I have met in Australia have. No one I have met here can afford it. I am considering if I should just go by myself on the trip. However I am worried about not having a group I already know. Do you remember if anyone in your group went by their self or if you think that would be a just as fun way to experience the trip. I only want to do it because it sounds amazing but if it is way better to do with a group you already know then I would just go with what my friends had planned. I realize how weird this is cause you have no idea who I am but I was just hoping to have some insight from someone who has already been. Thanks for the help!

By Lise Alves, Senior Contributing Reporter
SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL – Although still very dependent on inflation behavior and economic activity in the months ahead, Brazil's Central Bank (CB) has indicated that it plans to continue to cut aggressively the country's benchmark interest rates (SELIC). The CB's Monetary Policy Committee (COPOM) surprised markets last week after deciding to unanimously reduce the SELIC by 0.75 percentage points.
"The decision to intensify [the reduction] was based on the evidence from the past few months that basically pointed out that we could sustain not only 0.50 percentage point [decrease] but 0.75 [percentage point]," Central Bank President Ilan Goldfajn told reporters on Wednesday in a press conference in Davos, Switzerland.
Economists, however, say that a lot can happen between now and the next COPOM meeting, which is scheduled for February 22nd. "Most immediately, the inauguration of Donald Trump on Friday is a potential flashpoint," says Edward Glossop, emerging markets economist at Capital Economics.
"More generally, as the focus shifts to what policies Mr. Trump might pursue, currencies from emerging markets [including the real] could come under renewed pressure," adds Glossop, stating that Trump's plans could lead some COPOM members to push for less aggressive easing of the SELIC.
Yet while the world waits for U.S. President-elect Trump to announce his policies, Brazilian Finance Minister, Henrique Meirelles says the country's economy is recovering and the acceleration of the reduction of the SELIC will help the country grow in 2017.
"With the lower interest rate, we will be able to reduce the cost of credit more and more, making it easier and cheaper for consumption and investment," Minister Meirelles stated during an interview with Agencia Brasil.

Pepper to taste I shook the pepper shaker for about 5 seconds.
I used a 1 gallon stock pot for this recipe. Pour your chicken stock/broth in the pot and set the flame on low and cover.
Cut, chop, and dice the required onion, carrots, and celery and place them directly into the pot. Place your two handfuls of Kale into the pot. I purchased a bag of cut Kale from the store, and placed an amount which blended and gave a good balance between the stock and other ingredients.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot, stir, and turn the flame up to high. You can perform a taste test at this point for Italian seasoning, salt, or pepper additions to your taste. As your soup just starts to indicate a boil, turn the flame down to low/simmer, cover.
Grab your favorite skillet, heat it up, and place your Italian sausage in and brown it up real good. Chop it up as your turning the sausage to brown. When done, place the sausage and fat rendering into the pot and stir to mix all the contents, cover, continuing the low/simmer setting of your flame. Set your timer for 25 minutes and stir the contents from time to time.
This soup rocks! It tasted good, of course, upon completion, but even better after it sits overnight in the refrigerator. Enjoy Inmates!

Before connecting with the best log splitter, you should have to know about its features. There are many splitters available in the market or online, but all are different in their qualities. In such situation, you get confused which one you should choose which will fulfill your requirements. It is necessary to determine some features while buying a splitter to cut woods. Here we are showing you some advanced feature containing points-
Powerful motor-
The log splitter should have two elements which split a hard and wet wood without getting you injured. Therefore, before choosing the best log splitter, you must have to think about your actual necessities. While selecting a splitter, you should see its total random access memory splitting force, amps and total horsepower.
Splitting range-
While determining the range of splitting of a picky wood splitter, it is crucial to check its log length range and diameter. You should go for a one who can tackle different diameters and length of the log splitter.
Ball hitches and wheels-
You need to know that you must have to store your log splitter in a secure region- keep away from rain and dust- once you have completed utilizing it. However, you should have to pick up it from one place to other places. Rather than this, you should buy the splitter which has a lot of wheels. Also, the best wood splitter should have ball hitches when you tow a splitter. It may be possible that you turn splitter while towing splitter.
All steel construction-
None of you will want to install such splitter which catches rust after some years. Therefore, you should buy such splitter which has a long shell life and based on steel construction.
Now the last point is all about the warranty that should be on the splitter. It has at least one to two years warranty. Also while buying splitter; you must watch logsplitter reviews.

Ybcoin Purchase Aus – Affluence Network – Safe High End Dividend Yield
Thank you for visiting TAN in looking for "Ybcoin Purchase Aus" online. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the dynamics of the protocol in which it is transacted. All exchanges over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. When youare paid, you get paid. This is not anything temporary wherever your web visitors could dispute or demand a discounts, or use unethical sleight of hand. In practice, most merchants will be smart to utilize a cost processor, due to the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency purchases, you should make certain that security is hard. With any type of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially access your personal keys and so take your money. However, you most likely can never get it back. It's vitally important for you yourself to embrace some very good secure and safe routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from many of these unfavorable activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers argue that there is "real" worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some sort of benefit so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions lives.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be merely that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater possibility of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you're thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a stable flow of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to totally block the wages. In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might possibly be dealt as being a commodity. Advocates of cryptocurrencies say that sort of electronic money isn't manipulated by a central banking system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a limited variety of products, this cash's price is dependant on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency deals. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of value, but there is no actual palpable form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
Ybcoin Purchase Aus: Cashing In On Cryptocurrency – Affluence Network
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin design provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and miss out on quite profitable business models made available because of the growing use of blockchain technology. It is certainly possible, but it must have the ability to comprehend opportunities no matter market behavior. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be alright. It should be hard to get more small gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more rewarding than trying to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in monies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. When searching forYbcoin Purchase Aus, there are many things to ponder.
Ybcoin Purchase Aus – Don't Leave Your Wallet Without It – The Affluence Network
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Ybcoin Purchase Aus. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in money financing, it is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the financing websites now focus on business of Bitcoin, but I am certain there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that can give other currencies. Some websites are now out: valves: these are websites where you fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small number of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of tap into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some websites of tap include: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. The new ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity also. How to develop a reasonable plan and test it in the light of these issues? Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to make transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also be a part of more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can easily be realized by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. If you are looking for Ybcoin Purchase Aus, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Ybcoin Purchase Aus: The Affluence Network: Freedom from Economic Woes
You have probably noticed this often times where you frequently spread the great word about crypto. "It is not volatile? What goes on when the cost accidents? " sofar, several POS programs delivers free transformation of fiat, alleviating some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people will be reluctant to hold any. We need to find a method to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to run or to stop operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that provide long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the appropriate location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent problems to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, notably people who desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal solitude, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it would take place within your riches, with the rest earmarked for other currencies.
